"She may go too, if she likes."
"And it is better for us not to go with Mr. DilIwyn, more than we can help."
"I won't," said Madge. "I can't help going with him whenever he asks me, and I am not going any other time."
"What did Mrs. Burrage say to you?"
"Hm!— Not much. I caught her looking at me more than once. She said she would have a musical party next week, and we must come; and she asked if you would be well enough."
"I hope I shall not."
"That's nonsense. Mr. Dillwyn wants us to go, I know."
"That is not a reason for going."
"I think it is. He is just as good as he can be, and I like him more than anybody else I ever saw in my life. I'd like to see the thing he'd ask me, that I wouldn't do."
"Madge, Madge!"
